I got a refund (GC) today for my order containing ego batteries that never made it out of Hong Kong. Just past 60 days since the order was placed. There were some back and forth communications on the final details that went rather quickly and painlessly.

I got the tanks and egos I wanted from a US vendor in a black Friday sale, so I'm not sure what to use the refund on.

Saw your post about the kayfuns, get a 3.1 clone + spare parts with the refund

Yahooooo! I just put in my first FT order today! I've been drooling over all the pretty toys for weeks, just waiting to get this check.
Ok, I didn't actually order anything too exciting. Two ego minis, two evod clearos, and 100ml dekang juice. $23, and free shipping to Hawaii. Sweet! I'll get a less business like order next time.
As for long order times... I live in Hawaii. I'm used to it.
I'm pretty sure my delivery will go right past me over to the mainland and then get shipped back here, but maybe not. I'll know soon.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your delivery stories, and for pointing out shiny new things on the site. Mele Kalikimaka and a happy vape year!

At least the description is accurate on that one. All Kayfuns at Fasttech have some chrome plated brass in them.

My creditcard is smoking

 

[Jayvaps]

Some significant changes folks.

The free shipping threshold is being bumped from $15US to $20US.

Also, FT is now taking credit cards directly. I wonder if they are getting some pushback from paypal due to all the paypal chargebacks.

The "great' deal is becoming less and less. This whole process of watching this company unfurl has been pretty interesting. I truly hope they catch the wind and it becomes smooth sailing again but when you have all your sheet out you risk tearing yourself apart in a strong wind.

Oh, for the good old days. (July )

Paying direct with credit card is dangerous...ask me how I know

At least with paypal...they can go to bat for you if you don't get your item and you can be re-imbursed

Something is going on with FT...they haven't added any new items since the 13th

Not sure if paypal is getting tired of all the complaints...but it seems until the shipping issue with Li Ion is taken care of by the international shipping consortium...FT is a no-no on batteries

I orderd 7x30 ml Ry4 Hangsen Eliquid today.Hope it will be shipped without e-liquid problems. It was cheaper at Vaporbreak, they sell 50 ml Hangsen bottles. But the shippingcosts for e-liquid at Vaporbreak are now a dealbreaker.

Edit: Destination The Netherlands.

I promised to update if I received my e-liquid order. Today, 17 december I did receive my order, send with Singpost. Ordered 27 november. Thanks FT. I've noticed that Vaporbreak is also sending e-liquids again with cheap shipping.

Yes, the thing that is going on is Christmas.This is their busiest season for shipping products out. Are you really surprised that new products have not been added.

I won't just hesitate, I would not give FT my CC info for any reason. While I love to get a bargain and I love to shop their site, if they discontinue the use of Paypal then I discontinue the use of FT.

Or you could just get a prepaid CC and you know...pay that way.

You could, but then you would lose the protection you get with PayPal.

I wonder if FT is trying to move away from PayPal because of this.
